I invested my life savings into bitcoin when it hit 19K. My investment is now only worth 1/4 of what it was before and my wife’s boyfriend won’t stop calling me an “idiot” since I can no longer afford to put my wife’s boyfriend’s son through college.
Hahaha Almost felt bad until that wifes boyfriends son part
I haven't actually laughed out loud on this forum in a while. That was bluddy hilarious. Wife's boyfriend. Nice!

Hey guys, you like my new trading setup?
Antonopolous is NOT respected by any technically capable people that even work on bitcoin (but I won't name names), and neither is he respected by people like me for his constant lies and shilling about "decentralization" that doesn't exist, so I do not approve. I'd also be interested in knowing who has been funding this guy for his years of shilling (probably someone like Larry Summers), but I've never got around to investigating the money trail.
Such nonsense you speak. But good trolling.

That's not a fucking parody. It's just the reality.
We all knew there was a very real possibility that Bitcoin would never take off. Maybe, at times, we fooled ourselves into thinking that it was going to change the world... a "new paradigm" (ha!) that would make us all very wealthy at the same time.
We had one final flash bang when it reached almost $20K. It was absolutely obvious that was the end, but we did not want to see it. Again, we fooled ourselves.
We thought we were being smart while we were just selling incorporeal nothingness to each other for higher and higher prices until the Ponzi finally imploded.
Current price is just the echo of that final explosion that is increasingly fading into absolute silence. Just silence. A devastating one.
We are all just a bunch of delusional losers.
Accept it. Move on now.
That's the spirit
Hahah. I will send you a postcard from the $100k party.

Coverage Area
Blockstream Satellite currently covers nearly 2/3rds of the Earth's landmass. To see if you are in the coverage area, use our Interactive Coverage Map
Hardware Required
To utilize the Blockstream Satellite network, you must have the following hardware at a minimum. These items are available from resellers around the world and we are currently working with a vendor to provide complete kits and components.
Following is a list of all the hardware required:
45cm Ku Band Satellite Dish (antenna)
PLL LNB (linear polarization) w/ < = 200kHz LO stability

You must be straight retarded if you are thinking that gold or silver coins will be used as a currency in the future.
It is not even worth explaining why it is impossible. My head just hurts while reading that dipshit's post. I wonder Why are people still quoting roach the retard?
Unless we invent the time machine and go back to 1800's or before, gold aint coming back. You can try to go back to 1800's by killing more than half of the earth population and the internet technology, banking system etc and only then people may use gold as a currency.
Gold doesn't make you wealthy, it keeps you wealthy. Do you understand that?

JayJuanGee, since your grasp of the present day economic system seems to be completely comical, let me spell it out really simple for you. You're either going to have "UBI" and full-blown communism, or the bank's balance sheets implode through cascading deflationary collapse and metals are remonetized vastly higher to have any type of continuation of a monetary system at all.
Under communism there is no usage of bitcoin. In the second option, there is also no use of bitcoin. No government on the planet is basing it's reserves and monetary system around bitcoin instead of physical metals. If they used any type of digital shitcoin, they would be printing their own out of thin air and trying to force it onto you. The Russians, Chinese, Turkish, Iranians, now Italy, and others have already formed an unstoppable pro-metals monetary system coalition in the first place. The die has been cast.
You sir, are a monster. I just can't tell if you are trying or not.

what if adoption is releasing a LOT of this selling pressure?
Did you not read what I said? If price was to skyrocket (and actually stay there and not instantly implode) it also requires mining to skyrocket as well. If people are currently mining for $2k, $3k, $4k and the price 'only' went to $50k, you'd basically need mining to go up by an entire order of magnitude and it would use more power than the entire US. Do you think such a thing is actually going to happen? You would need LOTS more halvings before bitcoin could go anywhere near numbers you people claim without instantly causing some type of global energy crisis.
I'm trying to understand precisely why you are making the assertion that if the price skyrockets then mining skyrockets too.
With reference to
https://www.blockchain.com/en/charts/difficulty?timespan=allWe've had price explosions in the past but only 2017 resulted in the mining explosion that you are referring to. Can you explain your reasoning for why mining must skyrocket? Obviously, if price explodes then it makes more sense for miners to get involved (increased profit) but it also means increased competition, so an exponential price gain does not necessarily point to exponential profit for the miners ergo no exponential rise in the difficulty.

I think just below $2500 will be the bottom personally. and it will happen arround oct / nov 2019
This looks like an elliotwave phase B bear rally, I fully expect people to call me out as usual. But I will, and have put my money where my mouth is
I really don't care what JJG has to say on the matter or any other person. im happy to be quoted in November.
100% agree. $2500 feels right, I know there's no place in this space for touchy feely jibber jabber but it has served me pretty well over the last 9 years.

imaginary, valueless, digital shitcoins
Sorry for quoting Roach but it seems he's trying to follow his idol's advice:
"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed." - Adolf Hitler
WRONG. The "big lie" is the Bitcoin whitepaper itself. A "peer to peer currency with no middlemen", except every transaction requires three or more parties AND government infrastructure to boot, so it's obviously not peer to peer, and each transaction also has built-in, rent seeking middlemen (transaction validators). Then the transaction validators are designed to centralize too. Virtually everything about the whitepaper is a lie. It is YOU PEOPLE who are the big lie.
A "peer to peer" transaction with no middlemen is NOT EVEN POSSIBLE using Bitcoin. It's possible with real money, though - physical metals.
r0ach if you wrote without all of the hate I think more people would take you seriously. I often read this thread in the hope that folks will see through your hate and argue you on the merit of what you are saying, which is hard with all the awful rhetoric you add. Nonetheless, you're omitting a key part of the whitepaper, I don't know if you are doing so in order to suit your narrative (great troll if you are) or if you have not carefully read and considered the whitepaper in the right context. The middlemen being referred to in the whitepaper are those that include a key characteristic which Bitcoin is designed to exclude, i.e., the element of blindly delegated trust. We don't trust the validators just because we are told to do so, as in the existing financial system, instead they are trusted as a result of the work they do which anyone in turn can verify and do for themselves .
From the whitepaper:
"These costs and payment uncertainties can be avoided in person by using physical currency, but no mechanism exists to make payments over a communications channel
without a trusted party"
"What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust,allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other
without the need for a trusted third party"
"The problem of course is the payee can't verify that one of the owners did not double-spend the coin. A common solution is to introduce a trusted central authority, or mint, that checks every transaction for double spending. After each transaction, the coin must be returned to the mint to issue a new coin, and only coins issued directly from the mint are trusted not to be double-spent.The problem with this solution is that the fate of the entire money system depends on the company running the mint, with every transaction having to go through them, just like a bank."

We should have gone to 60-80K last time.
Futures killed the run prematurely.
Maybe, to 'compensate', we will go 600-800X this time instead of even lower multiple (32X).
Autism overload. It's not possible for the price of Bitcoin to go to the moon and not have mining massively expand to match. Nobody would ever buy an $80k Bitcoin if they can just mine one for $3k cost of production. But it's not really possible for mining to increase by something like an order of magnitude or it would probably use more power than the entire United States. In other words, the Bitcoin pump and dump scam is now butting up against the limits of the natural world for how high it can be artificially rigged with Tethers.
It's an interesting argument but you are wrong, and here's why: mining Bitcoin is a function of money
and time. You can do the math for yourself but I'd guesstimate that $3k of mining equipment now would take you about a year to get a full Bitcoin, nevermind what it's going to take when the Bitcoin difficulty is exponentially higher years from now.

You just described 99% of the people on this forum. People like Marcus of Tel Aviv and Trace Mayer constantly making up outrageously stupid lies about Bitcoin to try and trick people into buying it to enrich themselves like claiming Bitcoin is "tangible".
Or claiming it's "decentralized" when tokens are non-fungible with transaction validators being designed to centralize making it nothing more than a permissioned ledger, govt tracking and enslavement system. Or that it removes middlemen when it has built-in, rent seeking middlemen. Bitcoin has zero fundamentals (except as a govt tracking system) and is complete garbage compared to physical metals
Can you speak more on why Bitcoin is non-fungible? I understand it to be fungible, i.e., my 1BTC is equivalent to your 1BTC and therefore interchangeable for either of us to spend accordingly.

Who would have ever thunk, just a year ago or less that regular normies are going to start to get some real ideas about how bitcoin is different from the 2,000 plus shit coins and ICO snake oil salesman bullshit, including all shit coins, libra, ether, the bcashes, ripple or whatever other phoney baloneys are out their in btc wannabe status or sometimes like eth saying that they offer something different from btc, which ends up rising to the level of crap at best and scam in a worse case scenario.
I think in retrospect this Libra proposal is going to be looked back on as the thing that pushed Bitcoin over a particular hump. It has forced an awful lot of influential people to pause and consider what crypto actually is when they hadn't bothered before.

Pieter Wuille Unveils ‘Miniscript,’ A New Smart Contract Language for BitcoinSmart contracts could soon get a boost in bitcoin as prominent programmer Pieter Wuille has unveiled a new coding language designed specifically for their use.
Posted to the bitcoin developer mailing list Monday, the ‘Miniscript’ language aims to make it easier for programmers to write up “smart contracts” or conditions for spending bitcoins. Programmers Wuille, Andrew Poelstra and Sanket Sanjalkar have been working on the code for roughly a year, Wuille said.
Although it’s been shared around behind the scenes, Wuille said he is now posting it to the email list because it’s now it’s reached “a stage where I’d like to get it some more attention.”
Backing up a bit, “Script” is the smart contracting language in bitcoin, which allows users to specify certain conditions need to be met before the bitcoin can be spent. Say, funds are locked up until a certain time before they can be spent. Or, two people need to sign off on a transaction before the money can be moved, a concept called “multi-sig.”
This programmability is novel when it comes to digital money, since before bitcoin, it wasn’t possible to implement such rules without trusting a bank or a similar type of intermediary in the middle.
do we really want smart contracts and dapps on the bitcoin blockchain? the ethereum blockchain for example is full of shit, think about dapps like cryptokitties.
Miniscript allows for one to elegantly write Bitcoin scripts in a way that is far more readable. Sure, it's a subset of Bitcoin script, nonetheless it makes the art of programming programmable money a whole lot easier. Check it out here:

Of course you can mine "just 1 bitcoin". It's called 'pool mining'.
... nobody would buy your $100k coin if they can mine one for $6k instead. And mining is already too huge to increase by an order of magnitude or higher to buffer prices that elevated or it would use more power than the entire United States.
Have you tried it? Go ahead, pay $6k for just one bitcoin. It's the competitiveness of mining that requires huge capital outlay to even mine it at that price. That's why people are going to buy it at a higher price, because they'd rather not mine it. They'd rather get one and keep it, or get one and use it, but to be a miner is a different story. Miners will use up whatever power they can get and pay for. Power that eventually will go down in price and mining equipment that gets more efficient, even as the mining difficulty increases.
You can also try to pool mine, but I gather it's going to take a lot longer to get your 1 bitcoin, unless you have have a bunch of miners, either in your own space or hosted somewhere.
You hit the nail on the head. What r0ach is omitting is that whilst mining your own Bitcoin for $6k is possible, the length of time required to do so is extraordinary.
The Antminer s17e delivers 64TH/s for $2683.00:

Agreed. Raise MAX_BLOCK_SIZE!!1!1!!!
Alright, m8. Got you covered. It's called physical silver, gold, and copper. Block size is infinite, tokens are fungible, and it even has pruning, which noobs in Bitcoin couldn't get to work.
R0ach, curious to know what your thoughts are on the upcoming Taproot/Schnorr soft fork and it's application to Bitcoin fungibility.

Although published today, this video is dated but still quite interesting since it discusses assigning a value to Bitcoin:

What do you think the odds are that it's not single-player "whales" out there that are pulling the strings of the market, but instead it's exchanges that are engaging in rehypothecation of user funds to suit their own needs? For example, if somebody puts out a significant short on platform X, what's stopping X from squeezing it using client funds that have been moved (and leveraged) onto another platform? After all, it's not a regulated market with closely scrutinized players by a long shot so if they have the power to influence the market (they certainly have the funds) and it's not illegal (from what I understand it isn't) then why wouldn't they do this?
